GENERAL
Shure Microflexr MX200 Series microphones are miniature
electret condenser microphones designed for miking choirs
and performance groups. They are typically suspended over
the heads of the performers. Their high sensitivity and wide
frequency range make them suitable for recording, as well as
sound reinforcement applications. An attached 101 mm (4 in.)
gooseneck allows them to be easily aimed at the sound
source.
FEATURES
Wide dynamic range and frequency response for accu-
rate sound reproduction across the audio spectrum
Interchangeable cartridges that provide an optimal polar
pattern choice for each application
Balanced, transformerless output for increased immunity
to noise over long cable runs
Supplied stand-mount adapter for portable applications
(in-line preamplifier versions only)
White or black finish that blends unobtrusively with most
surroundings

Cardioid (C). Recommended for general sound reinforce-
ment applications. Pickup angle (–3 dB) = 130 .
Supercardioid (S). Recommended for sound reinforce-
ment applications requiring narrow or more distant cover-
age. Pickup angle (–3 dB) = 115 .
Omnidirectional (O). Recommended for recording or re-
mote monitoring applications. Pickup angle = 360 .
GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
1. For choir installations, hang a microphone 0.6 to 0.9 m
(2-3 ft.) in front of the first row, and 0.6 to 0.9 m (2 to 3
ft.) higher than the heads of the singers in the last row.
Aim the microphone at the back row (See Figure 1).
2. When miking groups that move or vary in size, use a
boom stand and the supplied stand adapter.
3. If four or more microphones will be open at once, an auto-
matic mixer, such as the Shure SCM810 or FP410, is rec-
ommended. Set up the automatic mixer so that all over-
head microphones gate on simultaneously.
